1. Padded velvet.

If you are even vaguely considering buying yourself a new sofa, please let us convince you to take a look at some padded velvet options. Luxurious, funky and yet somehow amazingly timeless, they are well worth a thought and a little splurge!

2. Industrial vintage.

Industrial styling has been popular for a while, as has vintage eclecticism, but 2018 will see them coming together! Furniture will take on a functional, unfussy and yet heritage aesthetic that looks incredible, especially in spaces such as home offices and kitchens.

3. GOLD!

Copper? That's SO 2017! If you want to be on track with the metallic of the year, you need to be embracing warm yellow gold. Antiqued finishes are perfectly acceptable, but it really will be time to turn your back on copper and rose gold hues, which were everywhere this year.

4. Oversized botanics.

House plants will always be in style, but 2018 will see the trend taking a far larger turn! Think indoor jungles and tropical botanicals with spiky leaves and bold color pops and you'll be heading down the right path! The more you have, the better, as well!

5. Bold graphics.

Geometric prints have been popular for a while, but next year they are getting bigger, bolder and better! Contrasts will be more stark, accent colors darker and prints far more oversized than ever before, so you'll need to be brave to take this trend on!

6. Bathroom wallpaper.

We know it's a touch unusual, considering that paper and moisture don;t always go well together, but 2018 will be the year of bathroom wallpaper. You can take our word for it! There are some fabulous varieties being released now, with incredible patterns, tactile textures and perfectly waterproofed finishes, so could you be swayed away from tiles?

7. Concrete tiles.

Speaking of tiles, ceramics won't be cutting the mustard in terms of your wall decoration options, as shapely concrete versions are very much coming into fashion. Tessellating geometric shapes are going to be particularly popular, so get in there before anybody else does, if you are embarking on a kitchen revamp.

8. Vintage-style bathroom suites.

Floating or wall-mounted bathroom suite items have enjoyed popularity for a long time now, but true vintage or reproduction vintage-style bathroom furniture is coming back! High-level cisterns, pedestal sinks and roll-top baths are things you REALLY need to be looking out for. How charming!
